What I meant was it does not appear to acutally be part of a program that actually cuts something.

Here is a shot of the toolpath as drawn in Mach3

Just Tested here with V.022 IJ works fine R reverses arcs with -1.000 scale.

Would be nice if ARCS worked in G18 and G19 mode running 3 d code.

THe  code runs here.  It does not do anything constructive but it runs.

Sure, you can switch back and forth all you want just use the correct Gcode to switch.

THC's are a very specific critter. I would suggest you get a dedicated THC.

A brain can do it , BUT at 10 reads per sec it may be too slow to work at a usefull feedrate(;-).

Just depends, (;-) TP

CLose down mach and restart again. Then double check your IJ settings. 

It seems that the code wants abs IJ. I would double check your CAM settings.

The big circles could be from a IJ setting most CAMS use incremental. Check your config file for the proper setting in mach.
